Little Man : Baby Shower

My cousin Leah and her husband are having a little miracle baby. I don't know that I have ever seen a future mommy as happy as my cousin is. It was a bit of a rough journey to get to this spot for my cousin and her husband and as a result, they haven't taken much of pregnancy for granted. Leah literally glows. She is so excited about every little moment in her pregnancy and is quick to laugh, even at the not so glamorous pieces.. like her "cankles." Their little guy will be incredibly loved and totally spoiled by his parents, grandparents, and godparents. Our entire family was ecstatic to hear the news and now we are all waiting on his entrance into the world in May.

While the baby is growing, we took some time to honor Leah and to finally be able to throw her a baby shower! My cousin Brianna took on the task and did an amazing job. Between the extremely happy mama-to-be and the cute touches that Brianna put together, it was a success. With Brianna's permission, I had to share her genius ideas!

Leah's Little Man Baby Shower

Start with a matching color scheme. Brianna used black, blue, green and a striped pattern.

Decor:
- Garland made up of matching colors and paper reading, "Little Man"

- Wooden blocks that made up the baby's name

- Garland with baby onesies. I love this! The onesies had suspenders, ties and a mustache

Food:

- Munchies! Veggies, fruit and appetizers work well

- Chocolate mustaches on a stick. Brianna used a plastic mustache candy mold and then refrigerated the
chocolate.
